Each class will include a mix of hands-on making in the art studio, purposeful connecting, and creative theory.
Fall is a time for harvesting what we've grown. After a summer of gathering ideas, inspiration, and half-started projects, autumn asks a different question: what are you actually going to do with all of it?
This 4-week creative incubator is designed to help you take stock, get grounded, and build a deeper, more fulfilling relationship with your creative practice.
You'll leave with a clearer vision for your creative life, practical tools for making it happen, and a supportive group of people to keep you accountable.
This is a cohort-based class inspired by Sharona's online course. You'll move through the process alongside a group of fellow creatives, and building that community is as much the point as the material itself.
If “I’ll get back to it when things calm down” has been your plan for a while, this class is for you. If you’ve been wanting to make more, but keep putting your creative practice on the back burner, this is built to help you finally make space for it.

The backbone of this class is in the hands-on making: we will begin with the basics of creating a near-daily sketchbook practice. We'll also use inward and outward visioning exercises to get clear on what you actually want your practice to look like, before anyone starts talking systems or schedules.
-
Planning that starts intuitive before it gets practical. You'll begin building a real planning system around how you actually work best. We'll make prototypes and test them with the group, building momentum through repetition, creating, sharing, and refining multiple small works instead of chasing one perfect piece.
-
This is often the hardest part. We'll talk through the logistics of how to show your work, choose what to show, and do so in a way that's supported by community. We'll also focus on rest, boundaries, and clearing space to start fresh, including finding your unique relaxation.

Week 4: Creative Blocks + Integration.
We'll name the specific things that stop you, including the ones about time. We deal with these directly instead of pushing through them. We'll bring it all together into a practice you'll be able to keep using once the class ends.
